Unanswered: Destroy temporary store/view?

So I've become so frustrated by Sencha's data methods that I'm finding I need to populate my stores with regular ajax calls instead of Sencha methods. But that leads me to a problem - I'm creating a ton of stores that just sit around.

In old-timey iOS, I would've called a personStore.release or something at the end of that function, to let the app know to destroy the store if nobody else was using it. But in Sencha if I destroy it now, the list loses its data - but if I don't, I lose the reference to the store since it's a local variable...

The Sencha stores just don't seem to work. I spent the better part of two weeks trying to use them, but they choked on the associations and didn't refresh as expected, so out of desperation I went back to jquery.
